I've been told I have a purposeful stride. Here to shout about things I like.

I’ve no emotional attachment to Practical Magic—it’s fun, it’s fine—but the recasting of the daughter to be younger instead of keeping Evan Rachel Wood legit sucks. All because the leads don’t want to accept they, too, aged? Would totally take me out of it, such a sour note. (The ads have started).

But we all know the most iconic part of The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) is -- let's say it together -- Philip Seymour Hoffman's entrance as Freddie Miles and then everything he does as Freddie Miles.

The one time I went to SDCC and got into Marvel’s Hall H panel ensures me I will never have fomo about attending that again because it was 2017 and the lineup was Black Panther/Thor Ragnarok/Infinity War. I’m good.

(I am so sorry I have probably a dozen more #TheOdyssey posts loading in my head) Chris Nolan should have let Matt Damon speak with full Boston accent just for the flashback drinking scene establishing the arrow-thru-the-axes trick. It had big “how do you like them apples?” energy

So we’re all on the same page. TAYLOR FARMS, not Taco Bell. They send it from Taylor Farms to many places including Taco Bell (and Walmart).TAYLOR FARMS was also behind the 2024 e coli outbreak that got headlines for McDonald’s onions But it’s the explosive diarrhea brought to you by Taylor Farms™️
